Gibraltar DCIL10-32 Die Spring Light-duty Green

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR DCIL10-32 is a light-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, molds, and press tooling applications. It features a trapezoidal wire shape and is manufactured from chromium alloy steel for consistent load performance and fatigue resistance under cyclic compression. The spring has a free length of 1.25 inches, a hole diameter of 0.375 inches, and a rod diameter of 0.1875 inches. At maximum deflection, it delivers a load of 39.00 pounds over 0.68 inches of travel. The green color coding identifies it as a light-duty grade per standard die spring classification. Installation is handled by toolmakers, die setters, and machining professionals working on press or mold assemblies.

This die spring is suited for light-duty tooling applications in stamping, injection molding, and progressive die assemblies. Its compact free length of 1.25 inches makes it appropriate for shallow pocket depths in die plates or stripper assemblies. The spring rate of 57.0 pounds per inch provides predictable, repeatable force characteristics across its deflection range. It meets NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 standards, making it appropriate for automotive and precision manufacturing environments where validated components are required.

Key Features

• Light-duty green classification per ISO 10243 and NAAMS die spring standards
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section for higher load capacity relative to round wire of similar size
• Chromium alloy steel construction for durability under repeated compression cycles
• Maximum deflection load of 39.00 pounds at 0.68 inches of travel
• Spring rate of 57.0 pounds per inch for consistent, predictable force output
• Meets NAAMS, ISO 10243, and ISO 9001:2015 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard light-duty die spring for use in stamping dies, molds, and press tooling assemblies where a 0.375-inch hole diameter and 0.1875-inch rod diameter pocket configuration is specified per ISO 10243 or NAAMS standards.

Installation Notes

Die springs should be installed by qualified toolmakers or die setters with all press or mold equipment fully de-energized and locked out before service. Ensure the pocket depth and rod clearance match the spring free length and rod diameter before installation. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 0.68 inches, as over-compression accelerates fatigue failure. Inspect springs regularly for cracking, set, or deformation and replace as a matched set when possible.
